ZendServer Community Edition on Mac OS X: compiling PHP extensions

January 29, 2011 | 4 Comments

This post aims to explain how to compile a PHP extension for ZendServer CE on Mac OS X based on my experience with the memcache extension. As it turns out, the memcache extension included in ZendServer CE 5.0.4 is version 2.2.5 which doesn’t work with the latest version of the memcached server insatlled by macposts as detailed in my earlier post about memcached. I had to build the memcache.so extension version 2.6 using pecl. Here’s how

  • go to /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions and backup your memcache.so file in memcache.so.bak
  • go to /tmp and extract libmemcached which you can download from the libmemcached website
  • go to the extracted directory named libmemcached-0.44 and install the library

tar -xvzf libmemcahed-0.44.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-0.44
./configure ; make
sudo make install
  • now, still being in /tmp, using pecl and phpize, download and install memcache

/usr/local/zend/bin/pecl download memcache
tar -xvzf memcache-2.2.6
cd memcache-2.2.6
/usr/local/zend/bin/phpize
#configure using the php-config of Zend Server AND forcing the architecture to 32bits as it is what was used to compile the ZendServer
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/zend/bin/php-config  MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -bind_at_load"
make
sudo make install
  • Enable the extension in your php.ini by uncommenting the line extension=memcache.so
  • Restart Apache
1
/usr/local/zend/bin/apachectl restart
  • Go to a phpinfo page to make sure the extension memcache was installed

This should work for most extensions available in the PECL library.

    Thanks a lot Samantha!

    I just wasted half of my day trying to install that memcache.
    You saved me the other half.

    Good luck.
